This is in continuation to the Trace Report in the File topic. Here, view trace events in the console rather than opening the file, x86sim_event_trace.data.txt.

NOTE: Make sure you are still using the design changes that are done as part of exercising the deadlock situation.

  1. Make sure the AI Engine component is built for x86 simulation target.

  2. Open the launch configuration settings and select Enable trace print.

  3. Run x86 simulation by selecting the Run option under X86SIMULATION in Flow navigator.

  4. Observe console output that shows timestamp, internal kernel name, and event type.

    x86simulator --pkg-dir=./Work --i=.. --trace-print
    INFO: Reading options file './Work/options/x86sim.options'.

       381566                  platformOut_i1                    thread begin 0
       426106                  platformOut_i2                    thread begin 0
       524589                          ker_i3                    thread begin 0
       746420                          ker_i3        kernel wait on run begin 0
    

    Here you can notice that the output console is less polished than files generated by --trace. But this is useful when your design runs for long, and you want to see the event while the simulation is running.

Uncheck the Trace print option for other option and revert any changes to the source.
